Discussion topicality guidelines
To entertain discourse which relates appropriately to the model laid out in the mental Shakespeare page we can establish some rules. Namely:
- Whether or not User:Miui's charaktêre is optimal reflects that the user's mental state is a variable.
- Other charaktêres are valid
- Rule is Miui's proposal Topic:Tables of theatrical methods to produce an imaginary mental play.
ipso facto
Directions to Miui's theatre
The Globe is named 0x1111111111ae8ee77.theatre
H H 3
The actor's name is Hamlet
3 H 1/4
Subroutine discourse
dolorem ipso editum
- Any definition of ipso facto is permitted.
- User edits are encouraged generally but there were be no guarantee of maintenance.
usual talking points
The theatre is a reclaimed Venetian gallery which some would call a château.Hamlet stays around the corner, it is Othello's house for whom the play is encanto de faux.It should be easy enough to find during tea or lunch but the matinée is never terrible.
special points
- If issuing directions sometimes we have a profile sheet.
This is Othello's profile:

Casting example
The following table describes the casting process.
| Prospect | Production | Player |
|---|---|---|
| Potential | Typecast | Unknown |
| read | respond | interpret |
| no | "Break a leg!" | interpret yes |
The casting process iterates down-right (ipso facto from uppestcase left to lowestcase right) and then recursively points a prospective player to their role via up-right interpretation. Flow:
- Prospective player receives directions to the theatre from production player.
- Prospect can't read brainfuck and begins to interpret the paper.
- Prospect objects and exclaims, "How dare you fuck the brain!"
- Production grades response and directions are matched to player's typecast (without revealing the typecast.)
- Discussion ends formally.
